Man, people vomiting during the festival always bums me out. Especially if they don't make it to a trash can, which is of course a hard thing to do.

I actually congratulate HG on getting my friend & I confused. You must have been having an AWESOME night because that's really hard to do.

I literally ate the size of a nickle. That means LACED. Stay away from the pot brownies. I am not sure how many times I have said that in this board. Of course people still get too fucked up every year on them; including my neighbours this year. I guess I'll have to say it more often next year.

The people I remember meeting are Switch&co, Friendly, Womp, Pea, Empty, HG, Stormy, Cat, Stamper, Wolfhat (pretty sure I also ended up with a pair of those glasses everyone was passing around. Or were those Friendly's?), Souly, and Inebriated Bunny. I'm horrible with names to begin with, (the combination of meeting you guys for the first time and also hearing real names proved to be especially difficult) and the jungle juice/other substances definitely didn't help with that, so I apologize if I either called you the wrong name sometime during Sasquatch 2011, or if I forgot to list you here. Overall everyone was such good company it blew my mind. I remember having this moment at Pea/Empty's site where I legitimately felt like I was having a Sasquatch dream, and I was just overwhelmed by how hospitable/welcoming/friendly everyone was. Sasquatch is good people, and I'm really excited about the prospective boarders takeover at Coachella.

I've seen veterans crash and burn after imbibing "just a little bit". If you think it's laced, then that's your prerogative, however I really really have seen people go as far as to hallucinate and piss themselves after a tiny bit of a brownie.

She's the one with the bunger avatar. She came up with Souly and we ended up really hitting it off. Her, Zephyr, and I are planning on going to Outside Lands together.

Those refractive glasses were thanks to BForeman, but she had like 50 pairs of them and gave a ton away so it's entirely possible you got them from any one of the boarders.

Is this like creative writing class?
Here it goes, gonna post on my blog in a week or so thought id demo them for you first, lemme know what you think. rough drafts of course
Canada
Sasquatch has become a top festival for Canadians because of it’s close proximity to Vancouver. You would expect to see more people due to Seattle's location, but I have devised a little theory: Seattle's amazing music scene means that many of the artists that come to this festival have already played nearby, whereas Vancouver just doesn’t pull the same amounts of popular acts. Because of this a pilgrimage to the Gorge can be seen as the Canadians answer to lack of quality music making its way north. I even heard an American comment “I don’t get it, us Americans are too lame to come to our own music festival. What gives? I actually was involved in a Canucks themed gate storming riot on the way in one day. Jesus Christ.
The Glitch Mob Sacrifice
After losing the crew on the way in what else is there to do then meet new friends. I spotted a guy with a guitar and asked him how on earth he snuck that in. So we jam a few songs and sing to a few girls. Don’t forget to tell them you’re from cali, because no one wants to hang out with more Canadians. So after finding the crew, but not the most important member, I give my new friend “J” a little party favour. He hops on up without his guitar and tells me to keep an eye open for him for when he gets back from the washroom. Maybe he had had enough of carrying a guitar around the festival, maybe he got a little weird when he stared into the heart of the crowd.
Whatever it was 2 hours later and “J” is nowhere to be found. Things are starting to step up and there’s no time at Sasquatch for lost and founds, especially not in this state. Then we hear it… a few thumps at first… then a few more… The Glitch Mob was calling
Walking to the dance tent with a guitar is super fun, you get crazy looks and get to jam waiting for the bathroom. But what happens when the dance music starts? When things start getting a little wild. A sacrifice to the dance tent was the only answer. With one quick throw the guitar is sailing into the centre of mob. 10 minutes later and the dance tent has torn apart the poor instrument with only pieces left floating above the groovy people. Glad no one saw that one go down.
The other side and human nature So what does it all boil down to? Coming from a town whose population is a fifth of Sasquatch’s attendance I am constantly stunned by the mass of human nature that descends upon this crack in the earth. The Gorge Amphitheatre is the laboratory which our natural herding and organization, our consumption habits, genetic purity and of course mating habits are exploited by entertainment by the masses. Nothing is sacred and nothing is without spectatorship at an event of this size. What entertains us more than the magic of music is the magic of the hairless apes which make it all happen. From harmonious dreamscapes to those picking up our shit without a doubt it’s each and every person at Sasquatch that makes it what it is. So gather up your thoughts and emotions, roll them up like your tent and shove them back in your face and start getting ready for next year.

Your word choice is slightly unnerving.

Vancouver pulls in pretty much every band Seattle does, though I can't speak for Alberta. Regardless, I don't think "lack of a scene" has anything to do with the mass exodus of Canadians at the festival. Our festival scene is certainly lacking in comparison though.

Yeah i kinda made that all up, why do you think Canada is so prominent at this festival than? I live on the Sunshine Coast so am mildly in tune with what comes through Vancouver but im probably a little removed.
